Living More For Others
(Preaching to myself a little during Lent):
“The first question we should always ask inwardly is the: what does the Lord wish me to do with or for this person?”
“The first demand of self-importance is that everything should be as we wish it, and as soon as this is not so we complain to God and are annoyed with people.”
“As to praying to the Lord to guard your tongue when you have to visit someone and are on your way there, that is a good thing.”
~St. Theophan
